Local people leading real change in Coventry.

About Connecting For Good

Connecting For Good is building collective power in Coventry. We organise people with energy, ideas and lived experience to take action together, for a city that is fairer, more compassionate and more equal.

We’re creating an ecosystem of community-led action: a living network of local initiatives, grassroots leaders and supporters who stand shoulder to shoulder. From reimagining public spaces to tackling loneliness, from creative connection to campaigning for inclusion. We believe change happens when people come together and act on what matters.

People told us they want to be heard, challenge injustice together, lead change, fight for equality and hold power to account. This is how we’re building a movement rooted in care, courage and collective action.

This Action Network space is where we organise that movement, through events, petitions, surveys, letters, calls to decision-makers and more. Everyone has a role. Everyone has the power to act. Together, we are shaping a Coventry where people have a voice and the power to use it.

How We Work

We organise in a community-led, leaderful way, many people stepping up in ways that suit them. Our work grows from trust, care and connection.

Here’s what that looks like:
• We listen. Lived experience drives our priorities and our campaigns.
• We build relationships. 1-1s, conversations and connections grow our power.
• We take action together. Events, petitions, surveys and creative campaigning challenge injustice and hold power to account.
• We grow leaders. Anyone can lead — we support people to build confidence, skills and influence.
• We act in solidarity. We stand with initiatives across Coventry.
• We build a movement. Our ecosystem is a network of people and initiatives that support, strengthen and amplify each other.
